Chapter 7

"Krys was sitting there pushing her food around her plate. Deep in thought about everything that happened. She forgot about the Slytherin that drag her to the kitchens. Snape was staring at her watching her move the food around and around. She didn't even eat any of it. The house elf's were running around doing chores that got to be done. Each time they pass they give the young students a odd look.

"Didn't your mother tell you not to play with your food?" Severus stated. Breaking the silence between. Krys looked at him and smile. She took her fork and stab at her food. She made a big show on chewing it too. Snape couldn't help himself, he let his laughter out. Echoing through the room. The elf's jumped at the sudden sound coming from the young Slytherin. He stopped and looked at Krys who was covering her face trying not to laugh.

"So are you going to tell me what happened?" Snape asked her. Krys looked down letting her short hair fall in front of her face. Her body stiffen. She should tell him everything or just some? Should she just not tell him at all?

"Well yesterday Autumn and I stayed late outside and we got in trouble." Krys looked at Snape, "See nothing be happened. I just feel guilty for putting my house through that." Krys knew that was a lie, she did lose house points but she didn't care for her house.

"Ha." Snape shouted. He stood up. "You think I don't know that it was a full moon last night? The bloody werewolf was out there right?" He asked. She flinched she was in the mood to get a lecture from him out of all people.

"Yes, the werewolf was there. I almost lost Autumn, she almost got killed. If it wasn't for that mutt she would be dead." She looked at Severus and he was nodding back and forth know who she was talking about. His greasy hair falling in front of his face with each nod. "I want to tell him sorry but that just feel so wrong coming from me. I don't belong in their house." Krys laid her head on the table in front of her. A elf squeak when the pictured opened again. A student walked in. Snape turned and saw Autumn standing there in brink of breaking down. Krys looked at her friend and turn to the house elf that was glaring at the students, angry that they are there.

"Elf, get Autumn a chocolate cake please?" Krys asked the elf. He nodded and ran off. "Autumn?"

Autumn looked at her friend then at the Slytherin and sigh. "Sev, how do you deal with James?" Severus was shocked that Autumn was using the nickname that he longed to hear. He looked at both of them and shook his head.

"What did James do to you?" He asked, wondering what did the immature Gryffindor did to them.\

"He's blaming me for Sirius getting hurt!" Tears falling down her face. Her eyes, being puffy from earlier, was even more now. She ran the back of her hand across her face rubbing her eyes. Snape closed his eyes, he wanted to yell at them that so far this isn't that bad. Not as bad as he went through dealing with the group. That's when he realize that he's talking to his enemy.

"I got to go." He got up making the chair he was sitting at squeak. He walked out as fast he can like his pants were on fire. Autumn and Krys watched the boy go. Autumn Sat in his seat and a elf put the cake in front of her. She mutter her thanks to the little elf. He nodded and gave her weird look.

"You scared him off. Why would you do that?" Krys made a pout-face at Autumn. Autumn giggled at Krys.

"I'm sorry I wanted food and I didn't know you would be here." Autumn stated. "It's just James got to me and I yelled at all of them." As she said this she took a huge bite out of her cake dropping little bit on her pants. She laugh and took another bite. Krys grin at Autumn. Krys knew Autumn can't stay mad at anyone for long.

"Autumn said bye to Krys, watching her turn the corner to go back to her corridors. Autumn turned to the painting and whisper the password. She didn't want to enter the room. She didn't want to deal with Veronica and her gang. The painting opened up and Autumn walked in. Amelia was laying on the couch curled up in a ball. Autumn looked around wondering what time it was. She figure that it should be around lunch time and that her little friend would be hungry.

"Miss Green, you shouldn't be sleeping in class." Autumn whispered in Amelia ears. She jumped back and screamed.

"I'm sorry! I won't do it again!" Amelia yelled. The other students that was sitting around the dorm laughed. Not at Amelia remark but at the girl on the floor holding her sides. Autumn couldn't stop laughing her face turn red as a cherry. Autumn tired her hardest to catch her breath.

"It wasn't that funny." Amelia snap at Autumn. They were walking down the hallway toward the Great Hall. Students were passing them looking at Autumn who was holding on to Amelia because she still couldn't stop laughing. Autumn didn't even think it was that funny any more.

"I know." Autumn manged to cry out. Amelia gave her a worry look.

"Okay when we get to the great hall we'll get you help." Amelia said and grabbed Autumn wrist. They started to run down the hallway. Bumping into poor students in the cross fire. Autumn kept thinking why couldn't they just got to the hospital wing for help.

"They stopped at the entrance looking around. Autumn covering her mouth trying to keep the laughter's to her self. She spotted Veronica sitting with her friends laughing and glancing at her. Veronica smiled and gave her a little wave. She did this.

""Autumn?" A voice asked. Autumn turned to the sound. Sirius was standing there pale still from his injures. "What's wrong?"

"Amelia sigh in relief, "thank goodness your here! Something is wrong with Autumn!" She pushed Autumn against Sirius. His arms wrapped around her. Autumn started up her laughing again.

"Did you even think of taking her to the bloody wing?" Sirius asked. The girls didn't saying anything. Sirius gray eyes looked at Autumn, studying her.

"I didn't know what to do." Amelia looked down guilty.

"Autumn?" Krys ran to her friend who was being held by Sirius, "Black what did you do to her?" Sirius eyes widen shock that she would think it was his fault. Yes he does pranks a lot but he wouldn't have thought of this.

"I didn't do this though? Even though this is a good prank it doesn't have my name on it." Sirius stated. He tighten his grip around Autumn's waist, "Come on lets take her to the hospital wing to see what they can do."

"They walk in the wing with the laughing Autumn in between them. They were keeping her up right. Autumn's face was turning a odd color from laughing to much and not being able to catch her breath.

"Oh my what happened to her?" The Nurse asked with a high pitched voiced. The nurse led the three students to an empty bed. Sirius laid her down gently on to the bed. The nurse hurried out for little bit to grab something. When she came back in she had a blue bottle.

"Now sit her up straight and hold the bottle for her." The nurse told them with her gray hairs sticking out of her hat. Sirius took the bottle from her and handed to Krys.

"I'll hold her up and try to keep her from moving to much." Sirius stated. Sirius put his hands on Autumn's side to keep her still. Krys raised her hand that held the blue bottle up to Autumn's mouth.

""Black, hold her face still to so I don't poor it on her shirt." Krys said to Sirius. He did. Autumn was trying not to move or laugh, she was holding her breathe as well as she can. When Krys' shaky hand reached her mouth, Autumn open it to let the cool liquid flow down her throat.

Autumn been asleep since she drunk the liquid, she didn't even stir when the nurse told the two students to leave and let her rest.

"Black, thank you for helping her." Krys mutter under her breathe. Sirius barely heard her but nodded. Sirius left with out saying a word to Krys. Krys let out a sigh of frustration of the marauders acting like immature monkeys. She almost felt sorry for who ever did that prank on Autumn because they will have to deal with the marauders looking for pay back. Krys started to walk down the hallway when she heard foot steps behind her.
"Tyler, I heard your friend was hurt." Snape said, "I was wondering if she was okay?" Krys turned around and saw the tall boy looking down at the floor and not at her.

"Yes she is fine. Just a laughing prank that somebody did." Krys lean against the wall waiting for Severus to say another word. Severus looked up and study the girl in front of him something pulled him to her even though he wasn't over Lily. He moved toward Krys who looked at him with a confuse look.

"Severus what's wrong?" She ask when he came to stand right in front of her. He didn't fully understand what he was doing. He lean in laying his hands on either side of Krys, she stood up laying her back against the cold wall. At that point Severus lips were so close to touching Krys'. She didn't dare move or even talked, she didn't want to ruin this moment. Then his lips touch hers. Hers moved in rhythm of his. Pleasure and happiness flowing from both bodies. Snape pulled away and laughed.

"That's how it feels." He smiled and kissed her again. Krys laughed at his response she never felt this happy before and she hope it never ends.
